Solution
- The menstrual cycle is a natural process, controlled by four hormones. Those four hormones are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone.
- The cycle consists of three phases-menstrual phase, the proliferative phase, and secretory phase.
- 14 days.
- If the embryo is implanted, repetition of this cycle is temporarily stopped till the parturition and thereafter period of breastfeeding.
- If oocyte is not fertilized within 24 hours, corpus luteum becomes inactive and transforms into corpus Albicans. Due to this, secretion of estrogen and progesterone stops completely. Endometrium starts to degenerate in absence of these two hormones.
